A former police officer who retired from the FBI due to post-traumatic stress disorder linked to her role in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terror attacks has written a book about seeing legions of angels guarding the Pennsylvania site where a hijacked airliner crashed. Lillie Leonardi served as a liaison between law enforcement and the families of the passengers and crew members killed in the United Airlines Flight 93 crash. She arrived on the scene about three hours after the crash. Although Leonardi's book, "In the Shadow of a Badge: A Spiritual Memoir," centers on her vision of angels, she argues her life has been changed more by what she didn't see that day. "The biggest thing for me is that that there were no bodies," she said.

It's world Panda Awareness Week, and what better way to celebrate that fact than to get 108 people to dress up in panda outfits and ask them to dance about a wet and windswept Trafalgar Square, eh? Inspired by Tai Chi, the dance was all dreamed up by the guys over at Chengdu Panda Base, a giant panda research centre in Southwest China's Sichuan province - and each of 108 'pandas' represent the real-life equivalents who live in Chengdu. The head of the Chengdu Panda Base, Zhang Zhihe, had this to say about the event: "Our ultimate goal is to help the pandas return to their natural habitat and to increase the number of giant pandas living in the wild. We hope that Panda Awareness Week can help us gain more support for panda conservation and find new advocates for this very special cause."

Have you had a few drinks, maybe a few too many?' it says, before warning motorists, 'Do yourself and everyone else a favour and call a cab.'
